Abstract
An adapter for enabling the signals produced by one type of playback device, such as a compact disc player, to be reproduced as audio sounds by a cassette player audio system, the latter having a conventional cassette playback deck. The adapter is comprised of a housing having a configuration substantially identical to the configuration of a cassette normally used with the playback deck. The adapter housing has at least one opening to receive the usual reel-drive spindle of the playback deck; and a record head is supported in the housing in a position for contacting the usual playback head of the deck when the adapter is received, or loaded into that deck. The adapter is connected to the playback device (e.g. the compact disc player) by a plug connected to the usual headphone jack of the player, whereby signals produced by the player are supplied to the record head from which they are coupled to the playback head of the cassette deck for reproduction by the audio system.
